晤恩。姑蘇人。住慈光講法華諸經。後於井中見白光出。乃絕食念佛。越三日見梵僧捧鑪三遶之曰。吾灌頂也。以汝所修同我之志。故從淨土來迎。次日恩升座說止觀指歸。即座面西而化。眾聞空中絲竹之音。依俙西去。
Wu'en was a native of Gusu. He resided at Ciguang [Monastery] and lectured on the *Lotus Sūtra* and various other sūtras. Later, he saw white light emerge from a well, whereupon he fasted and recited the Buddha's name. Three days later, he saw an Indian monk holding a censer circumambulate him three times, saying, "I am Guanding. Because your practice accords with my aspiration, I have come from the Pure Land to welcome you." The next day, En ascended the seat to expound the *Essential Points of Calming and Contemplation*, and immediately passed away on his seat facing west. The assembly heard the sound of stringed and wind instruments in the sky, faintly heading west.
